Kiss Smith goodbye, He's going to Kentucky. Yes he is definitely good enough to not only get pt there, but to start. I remember this board saying Ulis would have a fun time riding pine at UK. We all saw how that turned out.
He may get PT or start, but if you go by ratings, which some on this board are married to, he will not start. Kentucky already has the no. 1 recruiting class including a highly ranked point guard & a highly ranked combo guard & are in on other players rated higher than Smith. I do not think Smith is a priority for them. In fact, if Kentucky gets another one of its targets it is very possible the Smith/kentucky visit never happens.
I'm really not going overboard on Smith, though I'd like to have him, but I think our situation at the guard spot looks pretty solid.
I think MSU is a greater threat, but I don't have any idea where he stands with MSU. They want to sign two more players & are "hoping" Bowen is one of them, & then they have a couple other high profile possibilities that seem to be ahead of Smith.
Take him, if we can get him, &/or look for a big.
